Mr. Biro said seeing eagle close up was "an amazing experience".

im has gained worldwide attention but Bruce did t seem too happy with Mr. Biro when he set up to take shot.

"Wow! This photo is just breathtaking … Absolutely stunning. You are very talented!! I've enjoyed your or photos too. Thank you," a user wrote on Mr Biro's Instagram post of im, which has been liked 4,034 times.

Steve Biro was on his second visit to Canian Raptor Conservancy in Ontario in early May, hoping to capture some good reflection shots of Bruce, resident bald eagle. last time he visited,  water was quite rippled, and he didn't get ims he h hoped for.

This is photo Biro took of eagle right after he landed. It sure looks like Bruce was glaring.
